Porsche Werk Leipzig Tor 3

3 Hugo-Junkers-Straße

Visiting Porsche Werk Leipzig was a big thrill for me as I got to be in a test car, being driven full speed and swerving at every curve. It felt like being in a high action movie. Was I scared? YES! But the test drivers know their job well. They do this just to scare people, one of them told me it’s his favorite thing about his job. Reserving a spot to do this can be as soon as a week on a waiting list and you can drive the car or be driven. A very fun (and scary) way to spend time. The diamond shaped main building is also home to a little car museum and event center. Adriana Yampey traveled to Saxony, Germany courtesy of Saxony Tourism and Avanti Destinations as part of AFAR’s partnership with The United States Tour Operators Association (USTOA), whose members provide travelers with unparalleled access, insider knowledge, and peace-of-mind to destinations across the globe.
